Weather and Snow
The first snow may be arriving this weekend with a cold front moving through northern Utah on Saturday evening. It is always fun to see snow in the mountains, but early season snow is often a bad thing if it doesn't melt away.
It's never to early to start thinking about avalanches. A few things to consider doing:
  1. Attend USAW and learn more about avalanches and decision making.
  2. Sign up for an avalanche class.
  3. Take the all new online avalanche courses the UAC built for Know Before You Go or take other online courses listed on the KBYG website (Develop skills -> Online Learning).
  4. Get your avalanche rescue gear ready for winter. Put fresh batteries in your transceiver and update the firmware. Inspect your shovel and probe. Get your airbag backpack ready by possibly doing a test deployment and update the firmware if it is an electric version.
Stay tuned. We'll be watching each storm and publishing intermittent updates.
